Speaking of IST, I'm getting my Holiday order ready. Anything I should definitely grab? Someone mentioned Hulk by Peter David (gotta get Supergirl as well). Anyone here a Man-Thing fan? I'm a big Swamp Thing fan and I was wondering how the other series holds up.

Man-Thing doesn't stand the test of time. IMO.
My local comic shop had a half off tpb the other day and I went on a Mark Millar binge - MPH, Chrononauts, Starlight, the Jupiter stuff, etc. All brilliant and fun.

They once didn't get back to me in over a week after a couple of emails regarding a damaged book, so I sent them an email from my other email address (gmail) and Emily replied immediately stating that she'd emailed me several times but hadn't got a reply from me and therefore decided to give me a full refund.

Btw, IST's customer service is very very good and their packaging is amazing. Probably the best I know alongside a local comics web retailer (atomcomics.pl) I use. Out of 10 IST orders, I only once had damaged goods for which I received a refund and first rate service.

They can be a little slow sometimes, but they literally have some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. Can't recommend them enough Originally Posted by Hawkgirl70

I'm trying to get back into the flow of things and get my mind preoccupied with positive thoughts, (I had been visiting this site about 3x a day), and the Good Deals thread is indeed awesome! In fact, so is this place in general!Reliving my second childhood....

My copy of Absolute Year One arrived yesterday. I don't like the look of the faux-reproduction volume at all to be honest, everything looks fuzzy and washed out, I do really appreciate the inclusion of the relevant letters columns for each issue though gives a great sense of how people reacted to what is now considered an all time classic Batman story as it was coming out.
